He is best known for defending successfully the constitutional rights of the provinces in the face of the centralizing tendency of the national government as represented by his longtime Conservative adversary, John A. Macdonald. This longevity and power was due to his maneuvering to build a political base around Liberals, Catholics, trade unions, and anti-French-Canadian sentiment.

Gary Potts was a chief of the Temagami First Nation and the Teme-Augama Anishnabai in Temagami, Ontario, Canada. He was chief in August 1973 when the Temagami Land Caution began with land claims being filed with title offices to prevent development on Crown land.
The Temagami Land Caution was a territorial dispute in the Temagami area of Northeastern Ontario, Canada. In 1877, deputy chief Ignace Tonené filed a land claim concerning the Temagami region with the Parry Sound federal Indian Agent. The modern land claim was filed with land title offices in August 1973 by Gary Potts, then Chief of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai Indigenous Nation. The caution was intended as a way of maintaining 10,000 km2 (3,900 sq mi) of land that they claimed as "n'Daki Menan", meaning "Our Land". Existing throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, it effectively prevented all types of development on Crown land, such as mining. Crown land sales were also prohibited due to the Temagami Land Caution. In 1988, Vince Kerrio approved the expansion of Red Squirrel Road directly through the Temagami Land Caution. This prompted a series of roadblocks by the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and by environmentalists in 1988–1989. In 1991, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Teme-Augama Anishnabai gave up rights to the land via the 1850 Robinson Treaty despite the Tema-Augama Anishnabai claiming that they never signed or consented to the treaty. The Temagami Land Caution was lifted in 1995 as a result of a court order by the Supreme Court of Canada.
